what are y'all using to balance the checkboook, schedule bill payments, etc? Santa's bringing a new laptop, gonna need to load something on it. Currently I have MS Money 2002, it leaves a lot to be desired, and I see MS doesnt even support this anymore. Looks like the default answer would be go to some level of Quicken.
How about http://www.mint.com/...I can't remember where I heard about it It sounds to good to be true...I'm skeptical. Does it replace the need for quicken, or just a supplement?
Anything other programs out there to consider?

I have my own custom excel spread sheet.

x2. I just use an Excel spreadsheet for my info. Also have a page for monthly and yearly averages and breakdowns per category. The only downside is that I have to manually enter in each entry but Excel does all the calculations for me.
 
Excel here too. 95% of our bills are auto-pay via CC/draft anyway, so there's not much to need reminders for anyway.
 
I just set up auto pay through my bank, all I have to do is enter the bill amount for ones that change. The bills that are constant are automatic. I get an email reminder a few days before. It works great for 95% of my bills.
